How can you go USB-C and not bother to include quick charge?
You can bring a charger with you. If I'm using my iPhone continuously playing games, it also drains battery faster than it charges, so I'll keep it plugged in if possible. Fucking chill out with the Nintendo hate guys.
Lmao you are gonna have to charge this piece of shit for longer than you can play it, my lord.
Who greenlit this mess?
Yet it can only go portable if you are willing to pay good money on a SD card with good capacity or if you choose to buy only physical games (which isn't the ideal for handhelds IMO).
Are you going to trade-in your Vita too?
I got this exact 20.000mAh power bank and I'm definitely not happy about the charging time of the Switch. And in fact, it won't even be able to charge the Switch while playing a graphically intensive game like Zelda or Mario Kart on the go.oh for god sakes.. so much hyperbole in here..
It uses USB-C get a bettery pack. it's what i did for my Wii U game pad and what i have for my 3DS i never run out of power.
What system comes with a game at launch anymore? Not sure how that is even a valid complaint? When I bought my PS4 I had to buy a game with it too.
And I find it strange that the person is calling out the games costing 60 bucks. It's the standard...Nintendo games shouldn't be any kind of exception.
Jesus, am i really now treated a fanboy because i think that the post claiming that charging the console will take longer than playing it was bullshit?
Is this all it takes to be considered a Fanboy nowadays?
I have an old Garmin too that would last a pretty long time too. Comes down the the processor and screen used. At least for mine it had a resistive touch screen as well, which is lower power than capacitive.
They'll pay for an it motion sensor that will never be used, but not for quick charge capabilities. Come on priorities.
My phone charges in like 30 min.

LOL. This post is pathetic.
Lol you're gonna try to shit on Sony after Nintendo's piss poor product? C'mon, son. Nintendo will never do Playstation numbers again.Are you going to trade-in your Vita too?
LOL. This post is pathetic.
If that's the case no portable gaming machine since the original DS is a good idea.

Don't do this. Don't bring Sony into it. This is about Nintendo's failures. Sony are champions. They have the room to do what they want.

And as we all know, these values are usually made up a little (read: 'optimized conditions')... we could be looking at 2 hours of play time with Zelda and something like 4 hours of charging.
Read the OP?
We could even be looking at something like only a half hour of gameplay and a 12 hour charge cycle, with all proceeds going to fund ISIS
Preorder Cancelled
i'm out fam.
The point is this thread is full of Vita owners (I am one of them) acting like a 3 hour charge time is a big deal when the vita has a charge time of around 2 hours and 40 minutes. That isn't Sony's fault either.
I am not shitting on Sony. The Vita is awesome and its charge time/battery life isn't Sony's fault.

We're not far from someone declaring that.We could even be looking at something like only a half hour of gameplay and a 12 hour charge cycle, with all proceeds going to fund ISIS
I was going to buy one last night to scalp but the presentation was so bad I couldn't pull the trigger. Even this morning I thought about it and still couldn't. Good luck reselling these things dudes.

I've been using my OG vita a lot lately and my vita charges in just over an hour.
this post is so funny I'm crying. On that note I hope all scalpers take the L lol
3DS Charge Time According to Nintendo: 3.5 hours
3DS Play Time at Max Settings (everything on): 3.5 hours
So going by these metrics, the Switch still falls short as at its worst, the 3DS play and charge time were equal.

I have that exact same battery pack for my phone. It's great.
However, the Switch would be a pain to use with that as it would still take hours to recharge.
Erm it sits on a dock and is contantly charged, its a console after all. So its not like you'll have it lying around turned off and then have to remember to charge before playing it in handheld mode. Anyone expecting a long play time for a hybrid console/handheld which is way more powerful than any other handheld gaming system on the market is plainly a lunatic.
Anyway forgetting the constant whine fest for a moment.,
So we know the battery is 16 watt hours. We also know that is lasts around 3 hours playing Zelda (likely slightly under 3 hours), so we can then gather that the device uses around 6w in handheld mode.
Is it just me or is there so much mixed messaging on this device?
Like how the Joycon's work, how they charge, what's removable battery wise. having USB-C for fast charging and to not have use for it's purpose?
Like WTF.
Can we blame nvidia for this battery life?
